Remove uTorrent’s Search Box

A lot of uTorrent posts lately. This time a little trick to make the search box disappear. Some people love the search box and add some extra sites to it, others hate it. Here’s what you need to do if you want to get rid of it.

1. Go to Options –>Preferences
2. Click on “Appearance”
3. Delete all text under “Search Engines”

And that’s all. Remember to save this text somewhere (or bookmark this) if you want to restore it later on. uTorrent will probably provide an option to disable the search box in the near future.
